Speaking of this, Azik frowned again, "Did Amon discover you?"
The one who came to Tingen was most likely just an Amon avatar. If that was the case, while he still hadn't lost his memory again, he could still think of a way to expel it.
"No, probably not." Tang said.
He hadn't had close contact with Amon or observed him directly. Everything was done through Euclid's space.
The existence of Euclid's space itself clearly exceeded the dimensions they were in. Although it couldn't be determined what the essence of Euclid's space was—whether it was a sefirah, or something like a divine kingdom—Amon's avatar and Sequence One Pallez Zoroaster obviously hadn't noticed it.
Azik pondered for a moment, then said, "Amon appeared in Tingen, perhaps attracted by something... If possible, come to Backlund, Constance, and other major cities with church forces stationed there. In those places, Amon wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
This was the Fourth Epoch, when gods walked the earth. There was no reason for Amon's main body to go to these places and be equally targeted by all the gods.
After all, Amon and the Dark Side of the Universe weren't much different in the eyes of the orthodox churches.
As for avatars, dealing with them was much simpler than dealing with the main body.
The only question was whether this Amon avatar staying in Tingen was Amon using it as bait.
Tang chuckled. Who knew?
He had previously thought it was the Never-Ending Theater.
But this Sequence Two Sealed Artifact of the Seer pathway had the dual influence of the Church of the Night's hidden power and the System's mad knowledge. This Miracle Invoker's Sealed Artifact might not attract Amon.
And with Pallez Zoroaster here, Amon most likely wouldn't give up the Sequence One potion he had obtained.
Unless the old grandfather was driven away, Amon would sooner or later come looking for him here, to clash with the old grandfather and him.
"I always feel that the vessel of divine descent didn't have good intentions. Coming to find Father this time was probably also with some bad idea in mind."
As his consciousness returned, Tang asked the System, "System, do you think I should try to locate the devil's position through Euclid's space?"
'You can try, but you don't have many Yesterday Once More charms left, Host.'
Currently, the range that Euclid's space could expand to and that Tang could observe was limited to Tingen. This might be related to his spirituality and divinity. It might change after he advanced to Sequence Four Trick Sorcerer.
Even though he had deceived the System's rules and opened Euclid's space ahead of time, he could try to expand the observation range and look towards Backlund from Tingen.
But the consumption of spirituality within Euclid's space was very rapid. Without reaching Sequence Four and without a continuous supply of Yesterday Once More charms to borrow spirituality, he wasn't sure what he could find out.
Should he just go to Backlund? The observation points in Euclid's space seemed to differ depending on the location he entered from.
That is, standing in Tingen, he could only observe Tingen, while standing in Backlund, he could observe Backlund.
With the Traveler marionette, distance wouldn't be a problem.
But the problem was, was that vessel of divine descent in Backlund?
If not, going there would be a waste of time.
However, even if he didn't go to Backlund now and couldn't confirm the other party's location, apart from Euclid's space, Tang had something else.
The 'Telescope for Observing Stars'.
This System-exclusive item obtained from the 'Surprise Package' was equivalent to a weakened version of Euclid's space. Tang had tested it. Although the range seen through this thing was smaller than Euclid's space itself, the distance it could cover was very long, and he could see things even if he wasn't in Tingen City.
However, the distance and the consumed spirituality were directly proportional, which was also Tang's current fatal weakness.
Helpless, he could only temporarily give up on this.
In the end, spirituality was the hard limit.
"As for Amon's problem, emm, this guy is really hard to deal with."
Even if he cooperated with Grandpa Pallez, they might not be able to make things develop according to their wishes. After all, Amon was good at deception. Who knew if you were fishing for him or he was fishing for you?
A moment of carelessness, and if Amon's main body suddenly descended when they were trying to eliminate the avatar, then he and the old grandfather would probably both be done for.
As for the old grandfather... this matter should be put aside for now. He needed to have confidence before he dared to cooperate. Without any trump cards, the other party would most likely just treat him as a joke.
At least after advancing to Sequence Four, when he obtained divinity, his spirituality was strengthened, and he could also split out spirit worms to let the theater core make charms.
Sequence Four...
Worried jpg.
'Host, how about throwing those few Abrahams in again?'
"Are those few Abrahams awake?" Tang asked in surprise.
'Their condition isn't very good.' the System said.
The Abrahams who had wanted to betray him before were thrown into the Crimson Campus, and each of them was so frightened that they showed signs of losing control. They were currently being well taken care of by the psychoanalyst in the school infirmary.
They shouldn't be of any use in a short time.
Tang thought about it and decided against it.
To be honest, apart from playing a big game, the speed of daily acting and digesting potions wasn't too fast. These Sequence Five Abrahams were an unexpected gain, but he had to consider the face of the Abraham family and couldn't really kill them.
So, if he wanted to digest the potion quickly, he could only actively act and digest it better.
"How about I recruit some students first?"
"But Tingen can't be touched for the time being." He was afraid that Amon would silently slip into the school along with those Extraordinary individuals.
Then it would be Miskatonic Amon University.
"Let's try it out in our own territory first, and then make adjustments. But the focus should still be on digesting the potion."
Just then, the System suddenly said, 'Host, there's a messenger looking for you.'
"Messenger?"
Tang was stunned. A female Traveler marionette appeared beside him.
The marionette grabbed Tang's shoulder, and the two entered the spirit world and returned to the castle in the real world.
Unlike Olson's octopus messenger, the messenger in front of him was a horse-shaped skeleton with several half-rotten pieces of meat hanging from its body. Its skeleton was large, and black flames flickered at the hooves. If the muscles and skin were still there, it would have been a very fine horse.
But in its current state, it looked like the kind that would scare children.
The skeleton horse held a letter in its mouth, placed it in Tang's hand, and then its whole body burst into flames before disappearing into the real world and returning to the spirit world.
This was Owen's messenger.
"It's really hard for him to find such a messenger." Tang muttered, tearing open the letter.
Saving all the nonsense, those flamboyant words that were impossible to decipher, and the meaningless greetings, the central idea of Owen's letter was—
'How are you doing lately? I'm doing great, don't bother me hahaha.'
The System's mechanical voice was rhythmic, especially in the last few words, the voice rising and falling like a grand bell.
It was obviously an expert at extracting nonsense.
Tang: ...
"A small knife pulling the butt."
Did you recognize all the words? Did you finish school? Did your head get cracked open, Owen?
